    Hello Alex,

    Sorry to know that. Well, you can always follow some simple tips to keep your orkut profile secured.

    1. Many hackers use phishing attacks to steal your login informations. While signing in, double check if your browser address bar reads WWW.ORKUT.COM or not.

    2. Always sign out from Orkut once you are done.

    3. Never tick "Remember me on this computer" option while using a public computer. This applies to cyber cafe , college lab, office computers etc.

    4. Never click on any community link sent to by scraps. And if it's that much necessary, check the domain properly. Few community links appear like this : http://www.okrut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=22910233. Simply click on that link and you get your profile hacked. Check that domain properly, it's okrut not orkut

    5. Never use any Javascript code on your orkut profile. If you don't know the source of the code and the author of that script, never dare to use them.

    6. Change your Orkut password once/twice every month. Don't take this as an extra burden, treat this as an extra security measure.

    7. Do not use any third party site to access Orkut ( Ex : www.PowerScrap.com, www.Way2Sms.com).

    6. Never share your password with anyone, not even with your boy friend/girl friend. You never know when you will have a break up

    And finally, if your account got hacked and you want to get it back, here is what you can do.

    1. If your account is hacked, you can appeal here to get your profile back.

    2. If your account credits has been stolen by phishing attack, appeal here.

    Hope this answers your question. Reply back if you face any more problems/difficulties.
